I grew up with lots of books around me and when I was in high school I enjoyed solving geometrical and mathematical issues, which guided me to study computer science, which has been followed by studying Master of Design. I excel at connecting the dots to craft holistic solutions for complex challenges, combining a designer's creativity with an engineer's analytical thinking.
